My sincere condolences to the family. Bernie was so well respected by his colleagues and has left a legacy of integrity and skill as a surgeon. A testament of his kindness to others was demonstrated when he visited my husband at West View to deliver homemade blueberry muffins with blueberries from his garden. My family was quite moved by his kindness. Certainly his family will find lasting comfort in Bernie's legacy as a skilled surgeon and a wonderfully kind human being. Sincerest...

My condolences to the family. It was an absolute pleasure to be a resident and learn from Dr. St. Jean. We did love to talk food, and hes the one who told me I should eat at Crows Nest, which became a favorite of mine and my husbands during our time in RI. I used to think of him every time I ate there.

Mickey and family; My heart is breaking for all of you. Bernie was one of a kind; an excellent surgeon who took such good care of his patients, who loved his family and spoke of all you often and was just the nicest guy in the world. He will be missed by so many at Kent Hospital as his presence was enormous. He was my Bylaws Guru and my Chief of Surgery for so many years. His smile was infectious. My condolences on the loss of such a great husband, father, grandfather, brother and...

So shocked and sad to hear of Bernie's passing. Years ago, when my son Ryan, who is Bernie's second cousin, was brought to Kent after a very bad car accident, I immediately asked for Bernie and he just took over and arranged for all the doctors that were needed for my son's care. I can't thank him for being there for us.
My deepest sympathy to his wife Mickey, children and grandchildren and to Carolyn, his only sibling, my heart goes out to you.
God bless you Bernie.
